As any frequent visitor to this site knows, we’re all about promoting the love of the game – in all its quirky iterations.
We also like to give a shout out to local clubs and provide information on upcoming tournaments.
That said, one of the oldest organizations promoting the game is the Contiental Chess Association. Though they have a very boring website, it contains great information on a number of large tournaments that they sponsor. To take a look, go to www.chesstour.com.
All tournaments sponsored by Continental Chess are major events with longer time controls and large prize funds. It’s a lot like following the schedule of a rock band. Some of the spots on the upcoming tour include:
- Philadelphia, PA 3/31/10
- Lake George, NY 5/14/10
- Stratton VT 6/11/10
- Stamford, CT 8/6/10
Meanwhile, the Suffern ”Lonely Hearts Club Swiss” tournament is coming to a close. The final round will be this Wednesday, March 10. The crosstable can be found under our events tab. David Collins is the current leader with a perfect score of 4.0, despite having black in 3 of the 4 rounds! He’ll have white for the final round and will likely face our newest member who is also “tearing things up”, Ken Chieu.
Feel free to come out and join the fun. Remember, the best way to improve is to play as many matches as possible.
